The heavy mineral sand potential of an area located immediately south-east of Ceduna has been assessed by planning traverses of shallow (20-50 m deep) aircore drillholes across fossil Tertiary marine marginal strandlines likely to contain reworked...

Exploration for possible economic heavy mineral sands carried out by Iluka Resources within the now relinquished portions of its multi-licence acreage has comprised vertical aircore drilling of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequence (166 holes for a total...

An area of the onshore Tertiary Eucla Basin located about 170 km north-west of Ceduna and 50 km north-east of Ooldea Siding on the Trans Australian Railway has been explored for possible economic heavy mineral concentrations formed within shallow...

Ground in the Eucla Basin which borders the south-western margin of the Gawler Ranges basement uplift has been explored for possible economic marine placer heavy mineral sands deposits. Work was focussed on evaluating any Tertiary shoreline sediment...

Three adjoining licence areas that were centred approximately 480 km north-west of Ceduna together occupied the northern section of the Ooldea Range over a stepped NW-SE trending outline having an average width of 25 km and a combined total length of...

The now relinquished south-western portion of a licence area centred ~130 km north-west of Ceduna has been explored for possible economic marine placer heavy mineral sands deposits. The only work which took place on this ground was the aircore...

A group of exploration licences located on the northern margin of the Eucla Basin, and situated north of the Trans Australian Railway, which cover ground extending into the Eocene to Miocene marginal marine depositional hinterland behind the Barton...

Through the financial assistance of PIRSA's PACE Initiative, Iluka Resources has undertaken exploratory drilling activities on its Maralinga area ELs 4330, 4333, 4334, 4337 and 4338 in the eastern Eucla Basin, as approved Year 6 programme DPY6-61....

Six of the 31 heavy mineral sands (HM) exploration licences that were originally granted to Iluka Resources (Iluka) in September 2009 (which then were designated as Iluka's tenement Group 4) have recently been fully surrendered, because they are now...

Large portions of two licence areas located between 50 and 80 km north of Ceduna, with a combined total subject area of 1119.6 square km, have now been relinquished by Iluka in compliance with statutory requirements made under the company's Eucla...

Four exploration licences distributed along the northern and north-eastern edges of Iluka's Group 4 of jointly reported tenements have been fully surrendered, after work performed there recently suggested that their perceived prospectivity for...

Three entire exploration licence areas centred approximately 150 km north of Maralinga have been surrendered by Iluka Resources because they are now deemed unprospective for heavy mineral marine placer deposits. These areas lie on the interpreted...

The geomorphic feature known as the Ooldea Range, a prominent Eocene dune formed at the limit of the marine transgression on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin, has now been taken under licence by WA-based company Iluka Resources to explore for...

A small area centred ~30 km west-northwest of Ceduna has been explored for possible economic Tertiary heavy mineral sands deposits. During the first licence year, Bemax performed a literature review and examined available geological data for this...

Seven exploration licences which together comprised the western portion of Iluka's Group 4 of jointly reported tenements have been fully surrendered, after work performed there recently suggested that their perceived prospectivity for Tertiary...

A group of exploration licences located on the northern margin of the Eucla Basin, and situated north of the Trans Australian Railway, which cover ground extending into the Eocene to Miocene marginal marine depositional hinterland behind the Barton...

A sizeable part of the north-eastern Tertiary Eucla Basin marine palaeomargin is being explored for possible economic buried raised beach strandline deposits of detrital rutile, zircon and ilmenite-rich heavy mineral sands (HM) that may have formed...

An area that was centred ~180 km north-northwest of Cook Siding on the Trans Australia Railway has been explored for economic buried Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HM) marine strandline or sandbar placer deposits by Iluka Resources. It covered cover...

A combined total area of 1021 square km has recently been relinquished by Iluka from three geographically separate Group 4 tenements, due to the lack of significant marine sands there and the absence of significant HM accumulations shown by first pass...

An area centred ~185 km west of Tarcoola, and lying immediately south of the Trans Australia Railway line, was taken up to explore for possible economic buried IOCG type mineralisation hosted by buried basement rocks of the western Gawler Craton, as...
